1997 Estoril Blue 840Ci Sport Individual For Sale

Hello! Welcome to the ad for this lovely E31 840 4. 4 V8 Sport (not the old 840 4. 0 non sport that dealers are knocking out for 15 grand, nice try guys)

I had one of these previously in 2015 for a European road trip and it was faultless, and an amazing drive. I regretted selling it afterwards, but needs must.

So another trip comes up. 2600 miles from Cardiff to Bruges, Luxembourg, Stuttgart, Munich , Austria, Stelvio, Monaco and home.

I scoured the ads for something V8 based for months. Even bought a V12 at one point. But at the back of my mind, the 840 was lurking. When i spotted this, in the best colour, it had to happen.

And so it did! I drove back from Monaco to Rhondda this morning (May 17th), in 23 hours, and it was epic. This thing loves the motorway, and purred along eating up the miles (125, 000 to 127, 000 were spent at 80mph).

It's the only colour to have, and it is in fantastic condition, the paintwork gleams, and the alloys are in their original condition, without any botched repairs.

Drives really well, and sounds lovely with its long life backboxes. You'll need one with those done as the standard ones will be rotten at the joints.

I also put on a new genuine Diff CV joint (£250) as these always go, so you'll need to do this on any other one you buy. The grease dries up and the bearings get thrown out of shape, shaking the driveshaft.

I also replaced the diff oil at the same time, along with the engine oil and filter.

I also got the water pump and belts replaced by BMW Sytner in Cardiff (£560). You'll need those doing as a precaution on any other one you buy.

I also had the front calipers rebuilt with new seals and pistons. You'll need those doing too as they always fail, take one out on a test drive and i guarantee you'll be scared witless :) not this one.

So, this is your chance to buy a rare Estoril Blue 840 Ci Sport Individual , that's just ticked ticked over to 127k miles. I looked at one with 20k less miles and it was a dog.

MOT March next year, and I've got new 35mm springs in their box I'll throw in. In no rush to sell at all.

Low Beam warning pings on start up (the ligh ts are fine , looks like it's been a problem for years according to the history. I suspect the spadeceonnectors to the bulbs need sanding to contact better.

Ive got the original sales invoice for £56, 000 with all options too (blue piping, paint , rear blind, heated seats)

Two previous owners, full service history. Come and take a look, no pressure. Or I can send you a link with some walk around videos so you can see what its like for yourself.

Cheers!
